Native American (Ute) women hold a wooden pole draped with tepee canvas near four other erect tepee poles at Garden of the Gods, El Paso County, Colorado. The tepee frame is near a group of bushes, flanked by a completed tepee and another tepee frame. A wooden electrical pole is in the distance. The women are probably in Colorado Springs for the Shan Kive (Colorado Springs Carnival).
